University of Arkansas, Master of Science
Captained 1964 Cotton Bowl-winning University of Arkansas Razorbacks football team. Earned M.B.A., joined father's insurance firm. Moved to energy: struck gas in first 13 wells drilled 1970s. Bought pro football's Dallas Cowboys in 1989 for $150 million; team worth $1.5 billion today. Cowboys dominated NFC last season, lost to rival New York Giants in the playoffs. Latest obsession: Cowboys Stadium. Air-conditioned, 100,000-seat venue originally slated to be built for $650 million; total cost will now exceed $1 billion. Covered overrun by selling $300 million in real estate. Retractable roof will keep iconic hole design, presumably so God can still watch his favorite team. Also invested in poultry, cattle.
